+Starting with over 100 services as candidates for the upcoming Helmholtz Cloud, we had to define transparent and objective criteria to make the services comparable. 
+We established a service selection process consisting of three iterations to shrink the service candidate list to a handable size. Now we are conducting the 3rd and last iteration of the service selection in which each remaining service is documented with detailed information.
+Using this information the final score of each service can be calculated. The score will give priority on which services will be integrated into Helmholtz Cloud first.
